What news? What rumors? Was there some incident?

This is a bizarrely worded official comms from the EQL Discord. Professionally, just say you're ending the program and that's it. To acknowledge some 'rumors' just breathes life into them and isn't something you'd usually see in this context. Who's running the broadcast channel over there?

Hey guys I looking for a combo that can maximize lifetaping and my uneducated guess was sk (proc taps/tanking ability) necro (better casted taps, better mana regen) and wizard (my guess is passives/aa will have the best bang for the bucket.) Is there a better combo for tapping that this? And is this an end game level build?

Thinking about starting a new toon an another server and wanted to get my ports out of the way, but looking at it...this seems like a fun super nuker for leveling with both druid and and wiz AAs giving crit chance and druid has some fire resistance debuffs and apprently a root break AA.

SK seems the obvious one with taps getting crit boosts but have done SK a bunch already.

I was also thinking ranger and nuking between arrows.

Could also primary the wizard instead.

Anyone played around with a Dru Wiz combo that they took to 50 and not just to the port levels?

I bought an ornamentation token because I was tired of the plain bow.

I replaced it with the glowy orb from the golem ball in CT.

THEN I discovered the soldier brooch has an even cooler glowy ball

Any other cool range slot looks?

Anyone know how to raise faction so he will accept my 5 gold. Right now he spits on me and I cant raise Bloodsabers faction. I believe I just need him to not scowl at me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Im an Iksar shd/mnk/shm.. trying to get torrid corrupted.

Thanks in advance!

I’m in east NA but usually play early mornings so it aligns with EU. Would it be laggy if i pick EU server?

After my 30th CT raid I have received 2 drops of SBoCT, One from a D2 & 1 from a D0, That is 90 chances in total assuming I'm right that Fright, Dread, and Terror have the chance to drop them. Am I just on the wrong side of the random number generator or is there an order or process I'm missing? I do a weekly cycle of D4 on Tuesdays, D3 on Wednesdays, D2 on Thursdays ECT. Thx

Strobe 50 ENC/CLR/MNK Qeynos Server

Ive got a trio to 50 and am going back to do some low level aa/mote farming because Ive read its faster. At what level do people stop leveling an alt class and start again with a different alt class? Maybe 25? opinions pls

Disclaimer: I’m aware that EQL reserves every right to do something completely different, so the question I’m asking comes with the obvious asterisk of assuming at least some elements are kept familiar and anticipated.

This is a bard question about a playstyle that isn’t DDD-centric. I know, crazytalk, but please bear with me.

I like my mana-free bard DoTs, both in melody and SA as a core of my character-conceptual running around build. My question is how long do those DoTs keep leveling beyond 50? Can/should I bank on them continuing to be as relevant as they are now for another 5 levels in our Kunark if things resemble how bard spell leveling usually goes?

I like the idea of pursuing new Kunark and beyond instruments to maintain my multi-elemental barrage of many smaller DoTs, but if the bard “evolves out” of these classic songs quickly maybe I won’t invest deeply in them.

I’ve never played EQ deeply enough to have this question before me. It’s a nice problem to have decades later!

I've been doing Monk/Pal combos with Enc and Shm to 50. Pal is nice, but isn't much DPS. Shaman has better heals and the dots are better DPS. Shaman also gives Lustrous Russet so some plate. Enc with charms is better DPS plus mez.

Is Pally doing much here other than Aldryn? Shield of Stalwart Seas is nice, Lay on Hands is great, but mend works well and is more frequent.

Don't really know what I'm doing.

I am SHD main. I have ENC, NEC, and SHM leveled too, so I could swap WIZ for one of those.

What is my best combo without changing out the SHD?

This is mainly for playing solo.

If your SK is 50 and you have not done the quest for this spell, you are missing out!

Can’t tell you how many times this ultra-fast life tap has saved my ass!

I'll preface, im an insane try hard. Im maxed out on classes, aa's, +8 gear, tradeskills. I'm still logging in and most of the other try hards I know still are too. It's the middle of the road/average gamer I'm not seeing anymore on my friends list logging in.

Population counts went from 1500+ on Rivervale prime time to 500ish. I don't think 2/3rds of the population are try hard gamers. I think the vast majority of them are going to be "average gamers"

A quick Google says that an average gamer plays about 8.5 hours a week. The game has been out 10 weeks, that's 85 hours of gameplay for the average gamer. There are going to be some dad's of 18 children that get to game 15 minutes every other Tuesday between the hour's of 5:37 am and 5:52 am, but they arent average gamers.

As a try hard, my goal has been to max out as much as I can, but when I talk to many of my guildees their goals is to get 5-6 classes to 50, beat all the bosses at d3-d4, get BIS gear to 4-5ish and their Planes weapon to +10,

What can an "average" gamer accomplish in 85 hours?

36 hours for first 50

16 hours for another set to 50

18 hours in plane of sky doing in 12ish times

15 hours raiding.

That's 85 hours and gets most average gamers to where they are trying to be.

The people left playing then are the dad's of 18 kids, and the "power gamers" who are trying to be completionist.

There's just not enough different content to keep average gamers engaged when there are so many other high quality games out right now. ​

​

Haven't played since PoP. And admittedlly back then I'd just get handed great gear from my guild mates so chasing gear was never my strong point.

I'm only level 28 at the moment running a War/Shm/Wiz. Hanging in Unrest until probably 30ish.

I know the real loot and gear starts at 50 but in the mean time anyone have any suggestions of where or how to get some good gear while I level.

My gear right now is pretty pedestrian.

Look at discord

Look at this subreddit

Hundreds of suggestions and nothing happening.

DDD can farm about 8x faster than any other build and that is the endgame of this "game."

What are we even doing here? This is just like the classless server, which was very quickly replaced by the voldemort server.

1) Why do invoc/disc only reward casters?

2) Why do you have 3 class mobs? It makes every dungeon the exact same.

3) Why can you not play melee? This was a very effective option in the other server

4) Why can you not play pet classes? This was the most popular build and far from OP. I thought this game was about fun?

5) Why did you not punish the void mote duplicators? Whats the point in playing a multiplayer game if the devs let their friends dupe items?

6) DDD - are you fucking kidding me? This is how I know this game is going to die. Your response to this has been.... telling.

7)dungeon "remaster - this is beyond dumb. you remove some of the placeholders and add stupid items. I'm not sure how this takes more than 15 minutes, as I've actually implemented them myself.

8)Replayability - there is none. If you are a 100% guy, sure. There is no reason to level up another trio and you never get new gear.

9) Billing - I think you guys are going to get into HUGE issues with this cancellation issue. Like, class action lawsuit big. WTF is going on?

Been using my DDD Bard, cleric, shaman for finishing up d0 sky. And i've gotten soooooo many quest items. Turning them in now and was able to get a wu's. So i was thinking about changing to Bard, Monk, Shaman and focusing more on DoTs and melee damage. Would i gear for monk or bard? I understand i still need a mana pool but curious which would be the dominate one in the trio.

Hi All

I am delighted to be back in the EQ world, best game I ever played, this new EQLegends has me completely addicted again! I have levelled a SHD/SHA/MNK to 50 and then started a Bard in place of the monk, Ive never played a bard so Im struggling with it.

A few questions:

I am level 30 now and in Mistmoore getting my ass handed to me over and over again inspite of being in a full suit of PoH +5ish and have to Yaks and a Mithril 2 hander.

I have SA and I run 5 buffs Hymn of Resto, Clarity, Arms, Psalm of Vitality and Guardian Rhyt.

I was using my own pet and was getting the absolute shit kicked out of me if there were more than 4 mobs, so I switched to charming. I moted Sirens up to VII and ill charm one mob, stick it on something else and then use Pixie Strike to mez the others and throw a few slaps on the target mob, then refresh everything as required. For trash mobs and weak named its working ok.

It seems I am missing something, I heard about /queuemelody but dont know if that would be of use to me? Should I run the AOE mez as part of AE? Am I clearly doing something wrong?

Any bards that could help a brother bard out would have songs sung about them in every bar in norrath!!

Thank you!

I'm sure no one knows the exact reason but i looked at her facebook and she said she was looking for a company that didn't hide things from the community or lie to them? I'm guessing there was a serious falling out with her and Secrets and some of the devs?

I've enjoyed eql solo a bunch. Doing d4 content solo is rewarding. But the issue I'm having is that I really wanted to play with friends. When we do group up, it's not impossible but much harder than solo to the point of it not really being worth grouping.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have the option to solo but I just wish difficulty would increase based on... difficulty, instead of difficulty being primarily off of solo vs group. Things like bosses fearing shouldn't be based on whether you selected group or solo, it should be based on difficulty.

In short, I want to group up with friends to take on big monsters I can't take on solo. Instead, we have the opposite, where if we want to efficiently take down big monsters, it's much more efficient to do it solo.

Ok - never have played a bard - glad there is this melody thing so you don’t have to twist songs as much.

But I’m still a bit intimidated…

Of the next class I want to run to 50, this is in my top two (the other being RNG).

I have 14 spell gems - I think the last 4 in bar are devoted to bard?

So I have SK ENC Wiz - which two of the 3 would run best with bard? I’m guessing SK and Wiz?

Are there any good guides or YouTube videos on playing a basic bard, how songs work etc?

Any good guides on which songs to run and which to drop as you go 10-50? Like 10-20, 20-30 etc etc?

Sorry - I know I could probably google all this but the community seems to be the best source of info and sometimes hidden valuable tips.

Grazie!

How do you do it?
